title: 2,4,6-Tri-nitro-phenyl 3-chloro-benzoate.
abstract: In the title benzoate derivative, C13H6ClN3O8, the planes of the benzene rings form a dihedral angle of 73.59 (7)°. The central ester unit forms an angle of 20.38 (12)° with the chloro-substituted benzene ring. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by weak C-H⋯O inter-actions, forming helical chains along [101] and [100].
